Topic: C14 Wind protection (Read 5947 times)

I test rode a new C14 and was thoroughly disappointed. I was taking wind in the middle of my chest versus my 2003 with stock shield that is around my neck. Are there larger shields available that give better protection? I just think the windscreen is too small for the bike. And I had a sweet deal made! Glad I rode it first.

Down south, in Texas, the short screen comes in very handy in the summer time. It allows high speed running by keeping the wind blast off and at the same time keeps cooler air circulating in the cockpit. In the winter time, I change wind screens. I have a Cal-Sci +6 that is 6" taller than stock. It provides a nice pocket of still air and does not buffet me at speed. Also it does not 'push' me forward when I raise the screen. There are other makes available as well. I'd suggest getting the good deal. The bike won't disappoint.

Unless your C10 is bone stock how can you complain about spending $$ on a bike? The Calsci or Vstream are great improvements over the stock screen. Frugal is fine, but I got tired of 20+ year old technology.

It all depends on your size. I am 6'2" 33" inseam and the VStream in the full up position air just clears my helmet. Full down air hits my collar bone. It takes a bit to get used to, it is a very flexible screen and moves around a lot. I don't even notice it anymore. It does have some backpressure, but after 100 miles you don't even notice that either.
